Logic and level translation come together

A new device from Texas Instruments is billed as the world's first multiple-function, single-supply, logic level translator.

A new device from Texas Instruments is billed as the world's first multiple-function, single-supply, logic level translator.

Providing designers with PCB space savings and reduced bill of material part count, the SN74AUP1T97/98 combines common Boolean logic functions and level translation into a single device.

This device offers up to nine configurable gate logic functions, including four functional combinations not found in traditional logic gates.

Using TI's Low power AUP (advanced ultralow power) logic technology, this level translator offers very low static and dynamic power consumption for battery-operated end equipment.

The SN74AUP1T97/98 has a single supply-voltage pin, which simplifies trace routing and provides reduced power consumption.

The device is optimised to accept 1.8V LVCMOS input signals, while operating from a single 3.3V supply (1.8 to 3.3V translation), and can also perform voltage translation from 1.8 to 2.5V, 2.5 to 3.3V and 3.3 to 2.5V.

The AUP1T97/98 employs Schmitt trigger inputs, which eliminate input noise, improve output signal integrity, and allow slow transition of the input signal.

The SN74AUP1T97 and SN74AUP1T98 are both offered in TI's miniature (1.4 x 0.9mm) NanoStar and NanoFree, lead (Pb)-free, packages, as well as traditional SC-70 and SOT-23 packages.

The devices are available to sample now.

Budgetary pricing for both the SN74AUP1T97DCKR and the SN74AUP1T98DCKR is set at $0.24 in quantities of 1000.
